LAUREL HOLLOW. Ever wish you could escape the frantic hubbub of city life and travel to the peaceful and verdant hills of Italy? Tucked away off a tree-lined country road, in the Gold Coast village of Laurel Hollow, about an hour from Manhattan, you will find the very essence of what you seek. Approached by a winding drive and large circular courtyard, a sprawling farm ranch, transformed for the new millennium into a romantic, five-bedroom and four-and-a-half-bath, stucco, Italian villa, overlooks two delightful acres of rolling lawns dotted with imported Italian trees, specimen plantings, an expansive vegetable and fruit garden, pool complex, and more. Laurel Hollow is known for its two-acre zoning, rolling wooded hillsides, beach and mooring rights (rules apply). Points of interest nearby are Sagamore Hill National Historic Site, Cold Springs Harbor Fish Hatchery and Aquarium, Stillwell Woods Park, Laurel Hollow State Park, and delightful shops and restaurants in nearby Cold Spring Harbor and Oyster Bay Village. The Syosset train station is less than two miles away.
Entered from a graceful entry framed by gorgeous plantings, a stunning foyer welcomes you with gleaming inlaid granite floors, guest closet, and basement stairs. A striking stone chimney and large wood-burning stove catch your eye as you enter an immense great room with peg-and-plank hardwood floors. A hi-hat-lit ceiling ascends to the top of a wall of windows and atrium door flooding the space with sunny views of the breathtaking rear property. Stairs at each end of the room ascend to upper-level rooms. To your right, a hallway leads to a spacious master suite with luxury bath and walk-in closet, plus two additional bedrooms and a hall bath. To your left, a granite-floored alcove holds a walk-in wet-bar with beverage cooler plus a powder room. Doorways from bar and dining area of the great room open to an expansive eat-in gourmet kitchen offering ample cabinetry, granite counters and backsplash, a center island, granite floors, and high-end stainless-steel appliances. A huge breakfast area presently serves as the main dining area, which provides more space in the great room for relaxing or entertaining, and is flooded with views of the pool through several large windows and a wood-trimmed double atrium door to the pool area. Here, an outdoor kitchen with built-in grill and more serves a large, covered dining pavilion. A spacious paving-stone patio wraps around the sparkling Gunite pool. Imagine the magical summer parties you will enjoy in this delightful area.
Above the first-floor bedroom wing, a roomy hardwood-floored bedroom, with bath ensuite and three under-eaves closets, provides a comfortable and private retreat. Above the kitchen wing, another space with under-eaves closets serves as a generous office. The attached two-car garage has access to a bathroom shared with a second office, and a hall accessing the kitchen and the front courtyard. A second two-car garage behind the house provides ample space for storage and maintaining garden and pool. The partially-finished basement includes a laundry area, a recreation room, and ample space for storage and/or expansion. Come and experience this magical property and imagine its possibilities to be your perfect getaway far from the “madding crown” yet so close to all you love.
